The most likely thing is that the VSR is getting re-set to something
else later.
I did some work on the floating point stuff a few months ago to make
stand-alone applications work correctly.
What version of eCos are you using? The latest repository?
What startup type are you using? Have you tried using a rebuilt
RedBoot?
I've just re-tested running RAM apps over RedBoot here with both lazy
and non-lazy FPU switching and it all seems to work OK. Even doing FP
stuff in cyg_start() works.
